There are people who will say GMO foods are closely regulated, but the FDA has declared them to be "substantially equivalent" to their non GMO equivalents. They have a voluntary consultation process for the developing company to consult with them before new GMO varieties are approved, which is not actually regulating them at all.
The approval process for genetically modified animals appears to be much tighter.
